How to Destroy Superhero Obsession... kinda
It's no secret that superhero cinema is going through a crisis. With boring stories and uncompelling character interpretations, superhero cinema, or superhero media is at its lowest point. But, think about it, we're talking about superheroes, it's in their dna, in their very essence, to avert crisis, to get us and themselves out of the darkest night, to give their all so that the sun can shine again. That's what superheroes do.
So what's happening? What is going on with the superhero industry that's even more threatening than Darkseid, Thanos, Apocalypse or the Anti Monitor? I'm Absa, and in this video I'm going to explore how one change in perspective can reinvigorate the superhero media....

GUNDAM EPYON, Wing's Nemesis. The first word that comes to my mind when talking about the Gundam Wing show definitely has to be: STYLE. The Epyon is the embodiment of such stylish design choices by being a blood red gundam with a massive sword that transforms into a two-headed dragon. Yeah, it's that cool. So my friends, I'm Absa, and in this video I'm going to explore a little bit about the lo...
Zeta Gundam: Mecha Analysis and Lore | MSZ-006 ZETA GUNDAM VER. KA
Просмотров 995Год назад
ZETA GUNDAM. One of my favorite mobile suits of the gundam franchise has to be the Zeta, the first transformable mobile suit of the series along with being the first one to not have the mask vents, something that is now a staple of what stylistically defines a gundam. Now, contrary to popular belief, the original zeta is not as angular and slim as we remember. So my friends, I'm Absa, and in th...

ULTRAMAN for Mecha (& Non-Ultraman) Fans | Ultraman Netflix Exploration
Просмотров 852Год назад
ULTRAMAN, the Netflix anime recently finished it's final season and I know that this may be a super blasphemous thing to say but, I really enjoyed the redesigned Ultraman Suits. The story is also very interesting as it's kind of a retell of some of the most iconic moments from Ultraman, Ultraseven, Return of Ultraman, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Leo. All while also giving us Ultras...

Gundam Reconguista in G: Profound Weaponized Storytelling or Unintelligible Garbage? | G-Reco

G-RECO was a celebratory project meant to commemorate Gundam's 35th Anniversary. It also marked the return of Yoshiyuki Tomino to the franchise. It's a... strange series to say the least, and as controversial as it gets. Yet is Tomino really a mad genius that weaponized storytelling to deliver a brutal anti-war message or are we just reading too much in between the lines? So my friends, I'm Abs...

Gundam F91: An Unnecessary (BUT COOL) Prologue for CROSSBONE GUNDAM | F91 Crossbone Exploration
As a 54yo man who really loved Robotech as a kid after your video I notice my face was hurting and I realized it was because I was smiling the entire time. Thank you bro 🙏🏾 for an outstanding video!! 👍🏾
I always wondered what the story would've been like if Sayla Mass had had her original concept fleshed out from the OG Mobile Suit Gundam and had played a larger part in Zeta, Double Zeta, and Chars Counterattack like she was originally intended.
Well maybe someday Victory Gundam can get remade into a movie trilogy.
Disney and Hulu are gonna be streaming Macross 7 soon legally in the United States. So hopefully we can get Frontier and Delta as well. Wonder if they were able to cut a deal with Harmony Gold for the other series. I doubt we will get original Macross back but this is a nice compromise so the entire franchise isn't lost to the west.
Mecha-Pilot: 😅 "It's horny PTSD time!"
I really love your take on this series. I don’t agree with everything but I like seeing Turn A from a new perspective.
an amazing thing about Macross universe? everything is canon, its just that the movies/macross2 are actually in-universe media. like, in DYRL? the Macross having different arms is because it was a later production Macross that was properly designed to have space carriers for arms instead of the jurry-rigged surface naval ships of the original, which had been lent to the movie's production by the UN Spacey. also, Frontier was "Shin SDF Macross" and that was why it was great, just like Delta was "Shin Macross 2" and that is why it was awful.
Char aznable is as pure as a child with all the self centeredness and cruelty that comes with it. As an idealist driven by emotion over thought. As someone who can't imagine a life without the constant stimulation of a battlefield, and as a man that wants to be bathed in the kind of understanding and unconditional love a mother can provide
In 16:35 did i just saw the original gaogaigar being destroyed
5:00 thunderbolt is a parallel universe
Char was fighting for our prayers.
What kind of accent is this
Look at the all the garbage macross series after plus. Macros 2 is a god send compare to macross 7.
It always makes me sad that they ditched the mecha dancing very early on
15:15 I think sophisticated pettiness is just a side effect of being a Newtype.
any update on the guy?
3 years later still no info about 2nd movie
Where can I watch Macross Frontier???
15 years not 10...
Zeta wasn't the 3rd Gundam. Zeta = 7(Greek numerals)
He's never trying to be hero anyway
Barbatos is the Eva-01 unit of Gundam
I always saw this anime as very much heavily influenced by Xenogears, but that's just me talking.
"The Most AMBITIOUS" it had a fraction of the budget that Frontier had. After they figured out how much concert sales they were generating off May'n and Megumi they went all in on pushing live action idol shows. As with much long running mecha anime, the show is more so to dive sales in other venues. Such as Bandai and gunpla (kinda like the whole point of old 80's and early 90's satam cartoons in the states was to sell toys). Macross has also been heavily cut off from the western markets because of decades of Harmony gold copyright trolling, so their target market has always been solely Jp.
Back in 1989 a hobby shop opened down the street from the house I grew up in. It was a tiny little hole in the wall place named Models East but unlike most hobby shops at the time it sold things like manga, anime, and model kits like Robotech and things like that. We didn't have ANY of this stuff ANYWHERE in Rhode Island at the time. It just wasn't being imported anywhere unless you happened to be into it, and knew someone who traveled to Japan. The shops owner (a guy named Dave) would often play anime dubs on bootleg he'd acquired from people he knew who traveled abroad and went to local sci-fi conventions. I was 15 at the time, and this film along with Fist of the North Star was one of the very first anime I'd ever seen. The scene where one of the characters gets blasted in the face by a laser beam was the first time I'd ever seen a violent cartoon death. The one where the pilot dies as they crawled out of their ship shocked me as well. It's still pretty disturbing to me even now. It's just that powerful. I'm grateful people still remember DYRL as It will always be special to me.
This storyline sounds lterrible.
Anyone want to see the dub completed?!
I saw somewhere that ZZ’s change of tone was actually caused by the reaction to Z being too dark. But I’ll say that if we see ZZ through the lens of the new characters, I guess I can understand that the tone changes since they don’t carry the burden of their predecessors yet
I finished Z recently and I’ll say that I found the whole Katz story super sad. You see it coming from mikes which in a way makes it more painful to watch
Turn a gundam seem like intriguing and interesting series may have to watch it so I can see the turn x it's very underrated mobile suit and the design is one of my one favorites and able to break off into multiple pieces makes it way more better in the franchise and its slept on yes it may have lost to the turn a multiple times. But I would love to see dark history turn x with all the bells and whistles meaning all the gear/armaments it didn't have anymore and how powerful a full powered can be since the one we saw is nothing but a shadow of its former self
Gundam unicorn is bad story, UC deserve better :(
Mustache gundam is trash! Freedom is the goat!
Concuerdo contigo, prácticamente no se siente la esencia de la nueva era que querían plasmar, tenían la miniaturización, un sistema que estaba con problemas y lo querían solucionar con una monarquía que finalmente fue el punta pie inicial para que muchas colonias quieran no solo la independencia sino más bien controlar el mundo, ni hablar del esquema que tenían preparado desde Júpiter como posible trasfondo
Just recently starting to get into this series, I recently acquired the full set of JP mangas, including the ones that never got english translations. I'm gonna do my part, folks.
Char in Char's Counterattack makes absolutely no sense in terms of his character progression in Zeta.
I need to watch macross, that looks awesome.
Worst entry in the franchise without a doubt. It's only redeeming qualities are the mecha designs and Mirage.
❤
Nice explanation
Can’t hear the show with all the talking.
I’ve been watching Gundam Z for the first time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m on episode 9 rn very fire I’ll goto stardust memories then turn A
Zaku gundam?!?!??
The Mk II may be my favorite looking Gundam from UC
Newtypes are basically highly entuned with the spiritual. How else does humanity evolve when because of what we can do are technically at our peak. We might not have space colonies or interstellar travel, but we technically beat the basic survival game. The problems we have now are self inflicted vs being the cost of surviving food, water, and shelter. Gundam's always come off as a story of people who don't like change vs people who embrace it. Newtypes connections, higher perception of reality, and more are just examples of what exists in the spiritual. But not a lot of people are ready/willing to accept reality is way more than they've been told/lied too. the anti war/military theme makes a lot of sense, first time I heard about it but it's why I can't stand a lot of the animes. I go by the saying, better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.
I think the Hyaku Shiki Crash is a nod to Nagano’s FSS designs. The torso of the kit is reminiscent of the Mortar Heads’ design.
I'd say the movie version does a quicker job of getting the story delivered, but I really like the slower path of the OAV's. Personal taste really. It is also fun to watch them both, but with a fair bit of time between viewings because the subject matter is rather heavy.
This series even inspired type moon
where in the world did he watch this?! I've been looking for a while and found no place to watch it.
I fell in love with this series from my first viewing! It really needs more praise and recognition!
